Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

I'm not really a fan of $4,500 races but if we have to have them, aren't the horses going around in the last at Bendigo tonight supposed to be the ones that are racing in them?

Amazing what necessity can produce. TAB is closing down at 11pm (they still have problems)
So with a 12 race program Mildura just ran their first 4 races in a bit over an hour

On the TAB, if you are looking for the Fixed Odds for Saturdays Crown finals, don't be fooled like me
The TAB have Melton listed twice for tomorrow!
The first listing only has FO for R1 and R10
BUT if you look below Menangle you will see Melton listed again
with the FO for races 2-9

A couple of times lately I have heard commentators refer to a John Yeomans story on " xxxxxxxxxx " website.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

It’s the new Victorian Harness Racing Club website. www.vhrc.org.au

We will be featuring loads of interviews etc. There is also a direct link to trots vision and all RSN radio podcasts

Site to be officially launched shortly but access is now available

Hope you like it. Constructive comments accepted but remember it is a work in progress (eg I don’t think links to country clubs are working yet). Enjoy

Thanks Carol, I thought it was you guys but when I searched I got the old site
http://www.vhrsc.com.au/
It didn't look too shabby as a homepage (I thought it was the new one) but I couldn't find the JY story

VHRC.ORG.AU, not VHRC.com.au = the search is bringing up the incorrect site.
The new site is totally different and the interview is available at the top of the home page or under the media tab

Thanks Carol, I had already been to it and watched the interview.
I know the corner on which you find Homestead Farm very well, I had always thought that it had been the Rothacker farm but now discover that it was a little further up the road (and now a massive housing estate)

Re TAB problem, I hear it was a fire in Sydney somewhere that shut down the tab ! Disappointing that that could shut down the Vic TAB.
The are talking about merging it all into one site so just one tote dividend/pool over the whole country, wonder if that will mean more outages ?

I read in The Age a suggestion that the TAB outage may not have been so long if many of their workers weren't still reeling after being told that they had to reapply for their jobs (just a couple of days before the outage)
